ONE VOICE
Barry Manilow / Butler

as recorded by Vera Lynn  1981

first recorded by Barry Manilow  1979


One voice,
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is one voice,
Singing so they hear what's on your mind
And when you look around you'll find;

There's more than one voice,
Singing in the darkness,
Joining with your one voice;
Each and every note another octave,
Hands are joined and fears unlocked!

If only one voice
Would start it on its own,
We need just one voice
Facing the unknown,
And then that one voice
Would never be alone,
It takes that one voice!

Ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba,
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba,
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba,
It takes that one voice!

Just one voice,
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is one voice,
Shout it out and let it ring!
Just one voice,
It takes that one voice,
And everyone will sing!
